It's the finale for the greenhorns - some have succeeded in their quest to become Bering Sea crab fisherman... others won't be coming back.

The Time Bandit enjoys unseasonable weather and unprecedented catches. But when the weather drastically changes the boat is caught in a crippling ice pack.

As the harsh winter weather deteriorates, the Northwestern and Cornelia Marie step up to prove their worth, working through broken bones and icy decks.

Broken pots and a blown engine put the Northwestern a week behind schedule. Captain Sig hopes his luck will change as he drops his gear north of the fleet.

Only days into the Opilio season, a major storm breaks and high seas cause Captain Andy of the Time Bandit to call his men off deck, moments before a wave hits!

As the Opilio crab season opens, several greenhorns are about to experience the subfreezing temperatures and icy winter waters of the Bering Sea for the first time

The gruelling 2006 Red King Crab fishing epic comes to a close, with captains and crews anxiously awaiting crab-payday. Will the harsh season pay off?

The end of the king crab season is drawing near and all across the fleet captains and crews are digging in and commencing the long grind to the finish line.

Halfway through the crab season the grind is on. Men are working with no sleep, while fatigue and bad weather make the fishing even more perilous.

Another victim is claimed by the gruelling Bering Sea. On the Wizard deckhand Lenny suffers an awful injury and Captain Keith scrambles to get him to shore.

When a boat sinks, the crab fishing fleet anxiously searches for survivors. Will they be able to find any of the missing men?

Eighty-one boats head out for the new King Crab season, but things quickly go wrong for one boat and they signal an emergency.
